GENERAL SAFETY RULES
(For All Battery Operated Tools)
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure
tofollow all instructions listed below, may result
in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
Keep your work area cleanand well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Donotoperate power tools in explosiveatmospheres, suchas in the presence
of flammableliquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to loose control.
Electrical Safety
A battery operatedtool with integralbatteriesor a separatebattery pack must
be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used
with
another battery.
Use battery operatedtoolonly with specificallydesignated battery pack. Use
of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watchwhat youare doing, and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Donotuse toolwhile tiredor underthe influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
Dressproperly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain longhair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from movingparts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidentalstarting. Be sure switch is in the lockedor off positionbefore
insertingbattery pack. Carryingtools withyour finger onthe switchor inserting
the battery pack into a tool
with the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotatingpart of the tool may result inpersonal injury.
Donotoverreach. Keep proper footing and balance at alltimes. Proper footing
and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Usesafety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskidsafety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
2

Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holdingthe work by hand or against your body is unstable
and
may lead to loss of control.
*Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it is designed.
*Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be
controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
acc
i denta I I y.
Store idle tools out of reach of childrenand other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like:
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connectionfrom one terminal toanother. Shorting thebatteryterminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintaintools with care. Keepcuttingtools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools
with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignmentor bindingof moving parts, breakage of parts, andany
other conditionthat may affect the tool's operation.
If damaged, havethe tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenancesection of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of shock or injury.

Specific Safety Rules
1. DANGER! Keep handsaway from cuttingarea and blade. Keep your second
hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the
saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not
in line
withthe saw blade. KICKBACKcouldcausethe saw tojump backwards. (See
"Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback")
Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can not protect you from the
blade below the work. Don't attempt to remove cut material when blade is
moving
.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
2. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw
if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower
guard may be bent. Raisethe lower guard
with the RetractingHandle and make
sure
it movesfreely and does nottouch the blade or any other part, in all angles
and depths of cut.
3. Check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring. If the guard
andthe spring arenotoperating properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts gummy deposits,
or a buildup of debris.
4. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as
"Pocket Cuts" and "Compound Cuts." Raise lower guard by Retracting
Handle.As soon as blade enters the material, lower guard mustbe released.
For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
5. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing
saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade
will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time
it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
6. NEVER hold piece being cut inyour hands or across your leg. Itis important
to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
7. Holdtool by insulatedgrippingsurfaces whenperforming an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a "live" wire
will also make exposed metal parts of thetool "live" and shock
the operator.
8. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves
the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.
9. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamondvs. round) arbor
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run
eccentrically, causing
loss of control.
IO. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers
and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety or operation.

11. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade,
causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator.
Whenthe blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closingdown, the blade
stalls and the motor reaction drivesthe unitrapidly back toward the operator.
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back
edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade
to climb out of the kerf and
jump back toward operator.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures
or conditions and canbe avoidedby takingproper precautions as given below.
Maintain afirm grip with bothhandsonthe saw and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release
the trigger and holdthe saw motionless
in the material until the blade comes
toa complete stop. Never attemptto removethe saw from the work or pull
the saw backward while the blade is
in motion or KICKBACK may occur.
Investigateandtake corrective actionstoeliminatethe causeof blade binding.
When restarting a saw
in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf
and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade
is binding,
it may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
Support large panelsto minimize the risk
of blade pinchingand KICKBACK.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on bothsides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the
panel as shown
in Fig. 1.
To minimizethe risk of blade pinching and kickback. When cutting operation
requires the resting of the saw on the work piece, the saw shall be rested
on the laraer Dortion and the smaller
To avoid kickback do support board
or panel near the cut.

Don't support board or panel away
from the cut.

Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and KICKBACK.
Blade depthand bevel adjusting locking levers must betight and secure before
makingcut. If blade adjustmentshifts while cutting,
it maycause binding and
KICKBACK.
Use extra caution when makinga "Pocket Cut" into existing walls or other
blindareas. The protrudingblade maycutobjectsthat can cause KICKBACK.
NEVER place your hand or fingers
behind the saw. If kickback occurs,
the saw couldeasily jump backwards
over your hand, possibly causing
severe injury.

12. Adjustments. Before cuttingbe sure depth and beveladjustmentsare tight.
13. Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
cutting.
14. When operating the saw, keep the
cord away from the cuttingarea and
position
it so that it willnot be caught
on the workpiece during the cutting
operation.
Operate with proper hand support,
proper workpiece support, and
supply cord routing away from the
work area.
